Assistant Professor position - CUNY Graduate Center and Flatiron Institute

[Tony Ro]

The Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Cognitive Neuroscience. This position is part of a strategic initiative to expand interdisciplinary research and training in neuroscience and the computational sciences. We seek an innovative scholar whose research integrates computational approaches with empirical neuroscience to investigate the mechanisms underlying cognition. The ideal candidate will have a strong record of research in perception, planning, decision-making, memory, or animal communication and/or human language. The appointment will be in the M.S. Program in Cognitive Neuroscience. Responsibilities include research, teaching, mentoring, and service. The candidate is expected to generate an active, externally funded research program, and to participate in graduate teaching and research training. Teaching duties may include courses in computational methods and advanced courses in neuroscience. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and to mentoring graduate students in a diverse and inclusive academic environment. This position is part of the Simons Empire Faculty Fellows initiative and applicants must also apply to the 3-year Visiting Scholar position in the Center for Computational Neuroscience (CCN) posted on the Flatiron Institute’s website. The incumbent will split their time between teaching (50%) at the Graduate Center and conducting research at CCN (50%). Applications to both positions are required, and it is acceptable to submit identical applications to both. However, applicants are welcome to comment on specific synergies with CCN in their cover letter for the Flatiron application.
